(h) Auxiliary Battery Discharge Warning Light This light comes on when the motor switch is on. It goes off when the traction motor is ready to run. If this light comes on during driving, the auxiliary battery system may fail. Decrease the vehicle speed and stop in a safe place. If the light goes off, you can drive. If not, contact EV service station. (i) Motor System Caution Light This light comes on when the motor switch is on. It goes off when the traction motor is ready to run. The light comes on if the motor system fails. If this light comes on, stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact EV service station. (j) Output Control Warning Light and Buzzer This light comes on when the motor switch is on. It goes off when the traction motor is ready to run. The warning light may come on if you continue driving under high load, or with an excessive load applied on a steep incline or at higher or lower ambient temperatures, or at the lower traction batteries voltage. The buzzer sounds at further drop of voltage. The voltage becomes lower as the SOC capacity decreases largely or battery temperature becomes lower. In this case, the power is limited, so that the acceleration becomes uneven or the maximum vehicle speed decreases. As this does not indicate a malfunction, you can continue driving at moderate speed. (k) Warning Buzzers In the following cases, the buzzer continues to sound: D The driver's door is opened with the key in the "ACC" or "LOCK" position. D The driver's door is opened with the key removed from the motor switch and the headlight switch left on. D The driver's door is opened with the selector lever in a position other than "P" when the "READY" light is on. CHECKING SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS (except the SOC warning light) 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Open one of the doors. The open door warning light should come on. 3. Close the door. The open door warning light should go off. 4. Turn the motor switch to "ACC". The SRS airbag warning light should come on. It goes off after about 6 seconds. CAUTION If the light comes on frequently or does not go off, the system may suddenly fail and your vehicle may become undriveable. Have your vehicle checked at EV service station. 10
